If you have arrived here after reading, and hopefully enjoying the previous posts, I would like to say thank you.
The story began many years ago, while walking in concrete slurry and mud, when I thought there had to be a safer, cleaner way to deal with concrete washout waste after washing a concrete pump. So, I took to paper and came up with my concept.
Just like concreters have moved on from pushing wheelbarrows, PumperDump has grown to offer more than just a bin service.
How PumperDump Helps Builders
When using PumperDump, we assist you to:
• Avoid using plastic for washout trays
• Avoid the use of your onsite plant equipment
• Save manual labour time and costs to clean up messes
• Eliminate extra tip fees
• Better manage water runoff and possible pollution infringements
• Give recyclers an uncontaminated product to recycle
• Reduce unnecessary carbon emissions
• Introduce sustainable practices while dealing with concrete waste
• Improve onsite safety
• One price, no hidden costs
Just like the sustainability Venn diagram shows, sustainability covers many areas. We have grown and innovated through constant dialogue with builders, helping them solve their problems and achieve their sustainability goals.
It looks simple — and it is simple — but what this bin can offer is a lot more.
Efficiency Comparison
This chart compares the process and time builders take to deal with washout trays onsite versus using PumperDump. It highlights the extra plant machinery handling and truck movements required when done the traditional way.
Concrete Waste Separation Unit (CWSU)
PumperDump’s Concrete Waste Separation Unit (CWSU) has a 1m3 volume, with an inner tray to capture concrete and an outer tray to store wash water for processing and recycling.
• Trays are larger than standard trays
• Outer tray provides space for water and indicates when limits are reached
• Builders retain skip bin volume for real rubbish, minimizing overweight charges
• Risk of fines is reduced with no water running out of transported skips
We don’t tie up onsite plant, leaving it free for other operations.
No Plastic, More Sustainability
PumperDump’s no plastic policy delivers uncontaminated concrete waste to recyclers. Instead of plastic, we use our specially formulated water-based concrete release agent on all bins.
We also provide certificates for the concrete and water collected and recycled, and the volume of plastic diverted from landfill.
Even after construction has commenced, some builders and concreters are reluctant to use PumperDump, thinking it’s an extra cost — without realizing the hidden costs already associated with cleaning and disposal of concrete waste.
My story goes from walking through concrete slurry and mud after washing a concrete pump, to starting and growing PumperDump, and now offering a range of services that help create a safer, more sustainable 21st-century concrete pumping industry.
